Sure I was in game development later, as most went into... first you crack games then you end up making games putting better protections that your (ex)mates will crack lol.
But game development is a mess to be into for a living, unless you're hired in EA, Ubisoft and the such. I 've read a recent study, conclusion is only 4% of game developers make profit, this means 96% of games developed are either an hobby so you know it from start you will not get $$ from it - or failed business so you work on it 12h a day for 3 years to then make $10k = you made few cents per hour, again an hobby.
Finally is way easier to make money pimping some naked russian girls, than to design a super complicated game (which is so big effort you would not imagine as is a "game"!) and be lucky enough to get published (take plane and lick asses worldwide) and sold big way, believe me
